Chapter 464 Past Events
Those who have received the great creation of heaven and earth often have to stand up and bear the great changes of heaven and earth.
If possible, Lin Yi certainly wouldn't want his younger sister to bear these burdens.
However, looking at Lin Zhao's current cultivation level and recalling Lin Zhao's battle against the Integration Stage cultivator, he suddenly found himself unable to say what he was going to say next.
"Let's wait and see. Anyway, I'll feel at ease if you get rid of this problem sooner, Second Brother. If you don't want to wait, once the teleportation arrays between the Ancestral Phoenix Plane and the Ancestral Dragon Plane are stable, we can go straight home and find a powerful True Immortal to help you eliminate this problem."
Speaking of the Ancestral Phoenix Plane, Lin Yi's eyes lit up, clearly having paid close attention to the news on the Heavenly Mirror over the years: "I also saw the news of the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor's succession on the Heavenly Mirror. When I saw the successor emperor, I knew that the Ancient Phoenix Phoenix Maiden was you. Hehe, I was planning to get my minor health problem cured so I could sneak back to see you."
Lin Zhao glanced at him sideways and asked irritably, "Sneaking to see me? Is your sister becoming the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor something so shameful that you need your second brother to sneak around and see me?"
Lin Yi chuckled: "It's not that I became an assassin. Isn't that a shameful profession in any world? If word got out, people might say that you, the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor, have an assassin brother. That wouldn't sound good. But once your second brother becomes powerful and becomes the master of the Panlong Tower, people will only say that you have a capable second brother!"
Lin Zhao first expressed his praise for Lin Yi's ambitious idea, and then sincerely suggested: "Since you want to get ahead and are so considerate of me, why don't you just pay off your debts yourself?"
Thinking about how much money he owed, Lin Yi's expression turned bitter. He changed the subject and said, "Of course, if there's a powerful figure to rely on, I, as the second brother, won't hold back, haha."
He owes so much money that even if he becomes the master of Panlong Tower and sells all the top assassins in the tower, it probably still wouldn't be enough to pay it back.
Lin Yi was naturally relieved to discover that Lin Zhao was an alchemist, since alchemists were a very lucrative profession!
Unlike him, a poor sword cultivator, who could only take on jobs of murder and robbery to earn a meager living, and who almost lost his life several times.
Looking at Lin Yi, whose expression was constantly changing, Lin Zhao sighed, "I finally understand what Chief Vice Minister Kong Hui thought of you."
She hadn't believed before that her second brother could be associated with the words "scammer" and "deceit," but now she was more or less convinced.
"And this child has been raised by a girl named Ye Wei all these years, is Second Brother aware of that?"
Lin Yi shook his head: "I don't know about that. I left in a hurry back then, and only had time to leave a trace of my soul in this child to help me find him before I left."
Of course, there were other considerations involved. If the child got too close to him, the higher-ups of the Panlong Tower might notice, which would be bad for the child. Therefore, Lin Yi was forced to leave hastily after taking the child to a safe place.
Lin Zhao could only tell him about her meeting with Ye Wei, as well as the events of the Qing Dynasty and the Lin family over the years.
After hearing this, Lin Yi remained silent for a long time before finally uttering, his eyes red, "The Qing Dynasty's current predicament is entirely its own fault."
He appears carefree, but he is actually the most vengeful of the three Lin siblings. When they were young, the Second Elder contradicted his father, and Lin Yi even planned to trick the Second Elder's grandson to avenge Lin Mang.
Therefore, Lin Yi has never forgotten the schemes of the Qing Dynasty back then. Saying that he wanted to obtain the position of the tower master of Panlong Tower to make Lin Zhao look good was only a small part of the reason. The bigger reason was that he wanted to use this largest assassin organization in the Ancestral Dragon Continent to launch a revenge against the Qing Dynasty.
Unfortunately, his talent was limited, and his foundation here was too shallow. He couldn't even protect the lives of his brother's woman and his benefactor, and he almost didn't even get to see the last drop of his brother's bloodline. Lin Yi couldn't say more about these things.
Lin Zhao patted him on the shoulder: "The Qing Dynasty has been downgraded to a higher-level dynasty, so it's impossible for it to make a comeback."
If she hadn't come, that would have been fine. But since she did, the Qing Dynasty should at least pay back the debt for causing the Lin family's downfall back then.
And the Duanye family and the mastermind behind the Qing Dynasty—not one of them can escape.
Lin Yi nodded: "You've worked hard for the family over the years. I never thought that I, as the older brother, would need my younger sister to come home."
Lin Zhao said, "We're family, why are we talking about these things? It's still the family that owes you something."
Back then, the Qing Dynasty only wanted the child formed from the soul of the Ancestral Dragon. After the Lin family learned that Lin Yu was formed from the soul of the Ancestral Dragon, they also sent Lin Yi to confuse the public. This was no less painful for Lin Yi himself.
Lin Yi smiled and said, "You said it yourself, we're family. How can you watch your own brother be taken away and killed and then hide from him?"
Speaking of Lin Yu, Lin Zhao asked, "After you and your elder brother separated in the Ancestral Dragon Plane all these years, has your elder brother ever contacted you?"
Lin Yi shook his head solemnly: "When my elder brother and I first arrived in the Ancestral Dragon Plane, we were still young. On the way, these people were afraid that my elder brother and I were too weak and something might happen to us, so they didn't forcibly test us to see who had the power of the Ancestral Dragon's soul. This also made it easier for the family to make arrangements for us to escape. But my escape was already difficult enough, and my elder brother would only be more suspected by them."
The person who went to the Lin family to take them away couldn't be identified precisely, but it was preliminarily determined that Lin Yu was the soul of the Ancestral Dragon.
However, just to be on the safe side, and considering the Lin family's attitude, they brought Lin Yi along.
Therefore, the number of people sent to chase Lin Yu back then was several times that of those who chased him.
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "Then we can only search slowly."
Seeing her lower her eyes, Lin Yi said, "But I think that since my elder brother is the embodiment of the Ancestral Dragon's soul, he must possess the Ancestral Dragon's abilities. He will surely be able to turn misfortune into good fortune. Perhaps his cultivation level has already far surpassed yours and mine! All these years, your second brother has been waiting for my elder brother to become powerful and strong so that I can help him pay off his debts."
Lin Zhao's sadness vanished completely thanks to his words: "Didn't you think about paying it back yourself?"
Lin Yi chuckled and shrugged, saying, "Do you think Second Brother survived after being severely injured by the Demon Lord of the Ancestral Dragon Plane? He barely managed to stay alive by borrowing money and resources from all over the place to obtain a bunch of rare and precious treasures. If you add up all those things, let alone one Panlong Pagoda, even if you had ten more Panlong Pagodas, you still wouldn't be able to pay them off."
Lin Zhao: "..." At this moment, she couldn't help but think of what Zuo Hui had said back then—"She really knows how to be indebted."
Are you familiar with these accounts?
Lin Yi said, "My Tian Tong has records, but I dare not look at them myself."
Lin Zhao glanced at him, took the Heavenly Mirror he handed her, and after looking at it, her expression remained relatively calm.
